Nikko Yuba Cuisine at Zen

Nikko-style yuba is distinctively thick and rich compared to Kyoto's delicate version, and this intimate restaurant showcases it across an entire multi-course meal. Each dish transforms yuba differently, sashimi, deep-fried, simmered in dashi, wrapped around seasonal vegetables. The set meals use locally sourced ingredients and change with the seasons, demonstrating the surprising versatility of this humble ingredient.
